Tracking Papyrus and Parchment Paths: An Archaeological Atlas of Coptic Literature. Literary Texts in their Geographical Context. Production, Copying, Usage, Dissemination and Storage

On 1 November 2016, the project ‘PAThs: Tracking Papyrus and Parchment Paths: An Archaeological Atlas of Coptic Literature. Literary Texts in their Geographical Context. Production, Copying, Usage, Dissemination and Storage’ was inaugurated. PAThs received an Advanced Grant (2015) from the European Research Council. In the five-year term (2016–2021), the project aims to provide an in-depth diachronical understanding and effective representation of the geography of Coptic literary production and in particular of the corpus of literary writings, almost exclusively of religious content, produced in Egypt between the third and the eleventh centuries in the Coptic language.
